The alpha-1A adrenergic receptor (α_1A adrenoreceptor), also known as ADRA1A, formerly known also as the alpha-1C adrenergic receptor,^[5] is an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor, and also denotes the human gene encoding it.^[6] There is no longer a subtype α_1C receptor. At one time, there was a subtype known as α_1C, but it was found to be identical to the previously discovered α_1A receptor subtype. To avoid confusion, the naming convention was continued with the letter D.

Receptor

There are 3 alpha-1 adrenergic receptor subtypes: alpha-1A, -1B and -1D, all of which signal through the Gq/11 family of G-proteins. Different subtypes show different patterns of activation. The majority of alpha-1 receptors are directed toward the function of epinephrine, a hormone that has to do with the fight-or-flight response.

Gene

This gene encodes the alpha-1A-adrenergic receptor. Alternative splicing of this gene generates four transcript variants, which encode four different isoforms with distinct C-termini but having similar ligand binding properties.^[6]

Ligands

Agonists

6-(5-fluoro-2-pyrimidin-5-yl-phenyl)-6,7-dihydro-5H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]imidazole: EC₅₀ = 1nM, E_max = 65%; good selectivity over α1B, α1D and α2A subtypes^[7]
further partial agonistic imidazole compounds^[8]^[9]
A-61603^[10]
Metaraminol

Antagonists

Tamsulosin: for treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia
Silodosin: for treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia
Doxazosin: for treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia and/or Hypertension
Risperidone: used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder
WB-4101
Ziprasidone
Nicergoline
Most tricyclic antidepressants

Role in neural circuits

α1A-adrenergic receptor subtypes increase inhibition at dendrodendritic synapses, suggesting a synaptic mechanism for noradrenergic modulation of olfactory driven behaviors.^[11]
